...0r a side effect of carrying over a half ton of bricks in a Mazdaspeed 3. The handling - like with all stanced cars, er, "rides" - was slightly compromised but free bricks are cheaper than expensive airbags and you get a bonus of having the whole thing sounds like a whore's bed when you hit a bump and the spring ratio goes infinite.

Grounded to the ground.

So how much are replacement rear shocks for a Mazdaspeed3?

My guess is probably over 300 (I'd have to go check on Tirerack) so 400 bricks = 320ish bucks...my guess is that it is an even trade at this point.

Heheh. I put my festiva through the same punishment, except with ceramic tiles and bags of mortar.. Luckily I was only going a few miles. Neat lookin' old brick BTW, I used some similar looking ones in my landscaping
